Some call it A.D.D but I guess Mark has a fair bit of energy. His take on snowboarding is that it stays so fresh because it is ever evolving. Not just in the increased progression of tricks but the creativity and different aspect each person possesses.

Mark sees the progression of snowboarding first hand from his role as head coach of “The Camp” this year in Japan. “Coaching groms is such a good experience, it keeps you grounded and there’s no greater feeling then passing on something you’ve learnt to someone else and watching them progress.” But Mark isn’t one to be shown up by the kids, and got some amazing powder shots as well as urban shots with Rory Gardner this year (one that was run in Transfer issue 2).

Mark rides the Drake DF2 for jumps and powder and the Drake Riot for jibbing, Drake Supersport Bindings and Northwave Legend boots. Mark also rides in Nomis Outerwear.
